Chapter 599 Receipt!

After about ten days.

The ghosts of the four second-line divisions of the Japanese army withdrew their troops from Northwest Shanxi.

The 23rd and 25th divisions withdrew to Taiyuan, and the 21st and 35th divisions withdrew to Datong.

The 10th Division also withdrew from Baozi Mountain to Taiyuan, preparing to return to outside the pass.

This time, the Kwantung Army's 10th Division, 23rd Division and 25th Division all suffered relatively large losses and needed to go back outside the pass to rest.

For example, the 23rd and 25th divisions are second-line divisions, and their strength is relatively easy to replenish.

The 10th Division is a Type A division, and its combat personnel have lost more than two-thirds. It is difficult to replenish combat personnel, and it is difficult to recover in a short period of time.

After the devils left, the Xinyi Regiment, Independent Regiment, and Xiner Regiment that retreated to the Hengshan area, as well as the common people in the area under the Xinyi Regiment's jurisdiction, returned to the base area one after another.

And the people in the area under the jurisdiction of the New Second Regiment and the Independent Regiment who had retreated to northern Shaanxi gradually began to cross the river back to Northwest Shanxi.

In Ping'an, Anhua, and Heyuan counties, the devils did not dare to garrison troops.

Because Neiji Okamura, the commander of the North China Front Army, knew very well that even if a second-line division was stationed in Ping'an, Anhua, and Heyuan counties, it could only deliver food to Li Yunlong and the new regiment.

The 36th Division is an example.

Unless one or two full-stack Class A divisions are transferred in, the new regiment will be severely injured.

In the county town of the New Second Regiment and the Independent Regiment's defense area, the devils stationed troops.

Taiyuan.

First Army Command.

Looking at the real battle report casualty data sent by the North China Front Army, Commander Yoshio Iwamatsu fell into deep thought.

Chief of Staff Masao Hanagu, Deputy Chief of Staff Masao Miyazaki, and Major General Kazuki Yamamoto also had the same expressions as Yoshio Iwamatsu.

The 12 Locust Army and the Locust Alliance Army, with more than 3 troops, had a casualty figure of 6 to 1.5.

It's just off the charts.

The total strength of the Japanese puppet army and the Eighth Route Army was almost 4 to 1, and the total casualties were also 4 to 1.

Everyone's faces were a little ugly. Due to the secrecy of the North China Front Army, they only knew the real casualty data now.

Yoshio Iwamatsu looked at Masao Hanaya, Masao Miyazaki and Kazuki Yamamoto.

Shen Sheng asked: "What do you guys think?"

"Your Excellency, Commander!" Hua Guzheng said in a deep voice, "This is not good news for our First Army!"

"Of course I know!" Yoshio Yanmatsu said, "I mean, how should our First Army deal with the Eighth Route Army in Northwest Shanxi?"

The North China Front Army Command organized five divisions and 2 puppet troops to attack Northwest Shanxi, either from the Kwantung Army or directly under the North China Front Army.

This time, the attacking troops lost so much, and the three regiments of the Northwest Shanxi Eighth Route Army did not hurt their vitality.

With Li Yunlong's character of vengeance, he will inevitably take this anger on the first army, and the life of the first army may be difficult at that time.

With the combat effectiveness of the Xinyi Regiment, which can be strong and even defeat the 10th Division, the First Army may not be able to beat the two full-staffed divisions.

Masao Miyazaki narrowed his eyes and said, "Your Excellency, why don't you let the 37th Division and the 41st Division attack the Xinyi Regiment just after the raid in Northwest Shanxi has just ended? "

"With the combat effectiveness of the 37th Division and the 41st Division, not to mention completely destroying Li Yunlong and the Xinyi Regiment, it can also hurt their vitality."

"Make it no longer a threat to the First Army in a short time!"

The devils didn't know that although the new regiment defeated the 10th division, the new regiment still maintained a strong combat power.

The North China Front Army Command only gave the total number of casualties of the Eighth Route Army.

Several old devils felt that the Xinyi Regiment had at least a few thousand casualties.

Hua Guzheng snorted coldly, and retorted: "The 37th Division and the 41st Division are going to attack the Xinyi Regiment, and the Eighth Route in Southeast Shanxi will kill a carbine and attack Yangquan and Taiyuan. What will we do then? What will the First Army do?" There are more than 10 troops in the southeast of Shanxi?"

Masao Miyazaki said: "You can apply to Commander Okamura to allow the 21st and 35th Divisions directly under the Front Army to station in Taiyuan and Yangquan to resist the attack of the Eighth Route in Southeast Shanxi."

Hua Guzheng retorted again: "The 21st Division and the 35th Division have nearly 1 casualties. They have fought fiercely in Northwest Shanxi for more than half a month. How much combat power do they have? Can they stop the attack of more than [-] troops from Southeast Shanxi? ?”

"Why can't we block the attack of the Eighth Road in Southeast Shanxi?" Masao Miyazaki said without showing any weakness, "The commander ordered to build so many thickened reinforced concrete bunkers and gun towers around Taiyuan. As long as the Eighth Road in Southeast Jinda dares to come, the locust army The Eighth Route Army will definitely suffer heavy losses.”

Hua Guzheng said coldly: "The thickened blockhouses and gun towers in Northwest Shanxi have already proved that they are useless in the face of the Eighth Route Army's attack!"

"Thickening the bunkers and gun towers may not have much effect on Xinyituan, but it will certainly be useful to the Eight Routes in Southeast Shanxi!" Masao Miyazaki angrily scolded, "Hanagu-kun, are you questioning the commander?"

"Miyazaki-kun, you..."

Hanaya gave Masao Miyazaki a hard look, and then looked at Yoshio Iwamatsu with a guilty conscience.

He couldn't refute this, because to refute was tantamount to questioning the commander.

Masao Miyazaki, relying on his rank of major general, even though he is only a deputy chief of staff, dared to confront him as the chief of staff. The two often quarreled in combat meetings, blushing and thick necks.

And Commander Yoshio Iwamatsu did not stop him, as if he enjoyed the atmosphere very much.

"Yamamoto-kun, what do you think?" Yoshio Iwamatsu asked, looking at Kazuki Yamamoto who had not spoken.

Although Kazuki Yamamoto doesn't know much about the world, he has nothing to say about his ability and always has his own unique insights.

This is also the reason why Yoshio Shinozuka, the previous commander, reused Kazuki Yamamoto.

Even because of the leak of information, Shinozuka Yoshio suspected Kazuki Yamamoto, and Yoshio Shinozuka continued to choose to reuse Kazuki Yamamoto.

Kazuki Yamamoto still had a cold and resolute expression, his eyes were sharp, and he said without the slightest ups and downs in his tone:
"Your Excellency, Commander, the 10th, 23rd and 25th Divisions are about to return to Manchuria."

"At this time, the 37th Division and the 41st Division are going to attack the Eighth Route Army in Northwest Shanxi."

"I'm afraid the deputy commander of the Eighth Route Army headquarters will die from laughter."

Yoshio Iwamatsu asked, "What's the reason?"

Yamamoto Kazuki said: "The reason is very simple. The 37th Division and the 41st Division are definitely not the opponents of the three regiments of the Eighth Route Army in Northwest Shanxi. What's more, the 41th Regiment of the 237st Division is already attacking the new regiment. Summarized was disabled."

"If I were the deputy commander of the Eighth Route Army headquarters, I would definitely concentrate my forces to attack Taiyuan."

"Let the three regiments of the Northwest Shanxi Eighth Route Army go south to capture Taiyuan, the provincial capital of SX."

"At that time, I am afraid that the siege of Taiyuan can only be solved by letting the 10th Division, 23rd Division and 25th Division return to Shanxi."

"And the First Army will inevitably suffer heavy losses in this battle."

"Next, Li Yunlong will be able to do whatever he wants in Shanxi with the heavy artillery and tank troops..."

After listening to Kazuki Yamamoto's analysis, Yoshio Iwamatsu couldn't help taking a breath.

To be honest, Yoshio Iwamatsu was really moved by what Masao Miyazaki said just now.

It is really that Li Yunlong and the Xinyi Regiment are too much of a threat to the First Army. Coupled with the main force of the Eighth Route in Southeast Shanxi, the First Army is now walking on thin ice.

But if they really did what Masao Miyazaki said, the First Army might end up with heavy losses.

After a year or two, the First Army may eventually be wiped out by the Eighth Route Army.

Miyazaki Masao said: "Yamamoto-kun, neither this nor that, so what do you think?"

Kazuki Yamamoto said in a deep voice: "My suggestion is to solve the problem fundamentally!"

"Solve the problem fundamentally?"

Everyone was taken aback.

"That's right!" Kazuki Yamamoto said, "The reason for the rapid development of the Eight Roads is mainly in two aspects. On the one hand, their policies closely unite the people of China, and on the other hand, it is Li Yunlong's aid channel."

"According to intelligence, the reason why the arsenal on Tuba Road in Southeast Shanxi has developed so fast is because of the machinery and equipment provided by Li Yunlong's aid channel."

"As long as we start from these two aspects, destroy the relationship between the Eight Routes and the people of China, and cut off their aid channels, the Eight Routes will have nothing to fear."

Hua Guzheng snorted coldly and said: "What Yamamoto-kun said is simple, how easy is it to destroy the relationship between Eight Roads and the people of China? As for cutting off Li Yunlong's aid channels, let alone, the intelligence department of the empire has been investigating for almost a year. No information has been received."

Yoshio Iwamatsu glanced at Huaguzheng, and then looked at Kazuki Yamamoto: "Yamamoto-kun, you must have a plan in mind, right?"

Kazuki Yamamoto said: "There is a plan, but it is not yet mature."

"Yoshi!" Yoshio Iwamatsu nodded, then looked at Masao Hanaya and Masao Miyazaki, "Please go out for a while, Mr. Hanaya and Mr. Miyazaki, I want to talk to Mr. Yamamoto in detail."

Hanaya Masao and Miyazaki Masao were very helpless, but they could only bow their heads, let out a sigh of relief, and walked out without looking at each other.

……

at the same time.

Northwest Shanxi.

Zhaojiayu, Houshan shooting range.

Since the village of Zhaojiayu has not been rebuilt, Li Yunlong still set up the regiment headquarters in Dagu Town.

However, the delivery location is still at the Houshan shooting range.

Ding Wei and Kong Jie were not in a hurry to return to their respective defense areas, but instead brought the troops back to the political commissar, and they insisted on staying to watch the Hammer of the Loving Father.

Today is the day that Li Yunlong and Boss Chen agreed to receive the goods.

Considering that the 203mm caliber heavy howitzer needs to be kept secret, Li Yunlong only brought a group of cadres above the battalion level.

Chen Feng also went to Dagu Town early, and then came to the back mountain shooting range of Zhaojiayu Village with Li Yunlong and the others.

The artillery soldiers of the Heavy Artillery Battalion also came out of the cave one after another, watching with excited faces.

The artillerymen are very familiar with this scene. The previous 150mm howitzers and tanks were all received here. Seeing this formation, the artillerymen also understood that the regiment leader and the others must be receiving goods again!

About half an hour passed.

Everyone heard the buzzing sound of "da da da", and the battalion commanders hurriedly raised their binoculars to look.

In the field of view of the telescope, a super-large helicopter appeared from the clouds and flew straight to this side.

The guard Huang Erhu on the side immediately fired a red flare into the sky.

Boss Chen is the big boss anyway, so it's inappropriate to ask Boss Chen to play the signal flare himself every time, right?

"call out!"

With a red signal flare rising into the sky, super-heavy helicopters are flying towards this side. Under each super-heavy helicopter, a heavy howitzer, or a heavy artillery tractor, or a large shell box is mounted. .

Seeing this scene, the eyes of Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang, the battalion commanders, and the artillerymen standing on the mountainside all lit up.

Not long after, the first super-heavy helicopter put the first heavy howitzer on the ground, and the helicopter's fan blades swept up the ground with smoke and dust.

This was followed by a second heavy howitzer, a third heavy howitzer and a fourth heavy howitzer.

And 8 heavy artillery tractors, 8 super large shell boxes.

After all the heavy howitzers, 8 heavy artillery tractors and 8 super-large shell boxes landed, the super-heavy helicopter went to Dagu Town.

In Dagu Town, a tank battalion of regular tanks and 13 fire-breathing tanks and tank soldiers were waiting, waiting for Boss Chen's super-heavy helicopter to transport them to Yangcun in southeast Shanxi.

庙儿沟战斗，一共赚了10门B4重型榴弹炮，不过其中2门B4重型榴弹炮换成了6辆撒旦喷火坦克。

So Li Yunlong earned a total of 8 B4 heavy howitzers, 4 of which were handed over to the headquarters, and Boss Chen would arrange super heavy helicopters to send them directly to Yangcun.

Everyone in the new regiment looked at the four B4 heavy howitzers in the middle of the shooting range, and their eyes gradually lit up.

The barrel of this gun is so thick, the caliber is so large, and it has tracks. It looks like a heavy gun at first glance.

I just don't know... How powerful is it?
Wang Chengzhu, commander of the 1st artillery battalion, Li Changsheng, the commander of the 2nd artillery battalion, and Yao Shangwen, the commander of the heavy artillery battalion, looked at the heavy howitzers in front of them, and their eyeballs almost protruded.

The hard battalion commanders of the unsuspecting infantry were also shocked.

"This time it's a heavy howitzer named Hammer of the Beloved Father, with a caliber of 203 mm and a weight of 16 tons!"

Looking at the shocked artillery battalion commanders and infantry battalion commanders in their eyes, Li Yunlong announced the performance data with a proud expression.

Just hearing the weight of 16 tons, everyone subconsciously frowned slightly.

too heavy!
At present, the 150mm howitzer equipped by the new regiment is only 5.5 tons, and the weight of this fatherly hammer is actually three times that of the 150mm howitzer? !

I'm afraid the Jiefang truck can't pull it, right?

Immediately, everyone looked at the truck beside them.

This should be the tractor that tows the heavy howitzer, right?

However, this tractor is a bit strange, because the upper part is the same as a truck, but instead of rubber tires, the lower part is equipped with tracks similar to tanks.

Chen Feng naturally saw the changes in everyone's expressions, and said: "This is a 400-horsepower heavy-duty artillery tractor with a 12-cylinder diesel engine horsepower. Designed for towing heavy howitzers, the traction force is 4 tons on flat ground and 22 tons on mountainous terrain. There is also a winch on the vehicle with a 18-meter cable with a diameter of 30 mm, so it has certain functions as an engineering vehicle, and can be used to deal with trapped tanks or Vehicle rescue, this function is very important for tractors, because heavy howitzers such as the B-23 have a high center of gravity, and if they fall over during the towing process, the tractor can launch the rescue by itself.”

"It can be used both to tow artillery and to carry artillery or a certain amount of ammunition."

When everyone heard the words, their expressions changed. Their expressions were no longer the same as before, and their eyes lit up again.

Li Yunlong's heart became more and more fiery.
